Challenges to Lower Friction -Brigde to unknown world-

P Series

Sanalloy’s P Series has achieved a reduction in friction coefficient without damaging conventional characteristics, which have excellent seizure and wear resistance for processing copper alloy, aluminum alloy and stainless steel.

Coefficient of Friction Comparison Result between P series and RD25

Coefficient of Friction for Copper Alloy Coefficient of Friction for Aluminum Alloy Coefficient of Friction for SUS304
The coefficient of friction of PRD9N is lower than that of RD25. The coefficient of friction value of PRD9N is almost the same as RD25 in initial state, but PRD9N has lower frictional coefficient after a steady state. The coefficient of friction of PRD9N is lower than that of RD25.
  • Coefficient of Friction for Copper Alloy
